Well this thread is about Lott, not Bush... I think Bush will be okay if Lott retains power.

My comment was about Lott. I said Lott is the sponsor for the Pickering nomination and when this comes up again this nomination will be overshadowed by Lott's comments. This will then happen over and over and will work against Bushes efforts and the party as a whole.

IOW, Bush will not be ok if Lott retains power.

Pickering will be okay... The Dems won't want to filibuster with Bush offering unemployment benefit extensions at play...
